Subject: [PATCH] arm64: dts: freescale: imx8mq: Disable noc dts node

Adding interconnect properties to the consumer nodes creates
a dependency on noc device. The imx-bus devfreq driver is not usable
without the full interconnect support. The interconnect is not yet
working on i.MX platforms. The devlink created on device_add makes
the lcdif and other nodes that have the interconnect properties
wait for the noc (imx-bus driver) to probe first.

To make sure the interconnect consumers (nodes that have interconnect
properties already added) will still probe, lets disable the noc node
for now. Once the interconnect on i.MX platforms is fully functional,
the status of the noc node can be changed.

Martin,

Do you have any comment? So your commit added something untested?

hi Shawn,

well, for imx8mq the only missing piece is the mxsfb icc bandwidth
request. I posted a first version a year ago but that didn't make it
in:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/[email protected]/

So this should create a working state until the real fix in mxsfb is
there (although I'd revert commit ad1abc8a03fd ("arm64: dts: imx8mq:
Add interconnect for lcdif") instead). I am indeed to blame for this
and I'm sorry I haven't yet taken the time to work on mxsfb again.

I can say I plan to do so soon, but without promise that I quickly find
a solution that'll be merged...

If you merge this (or revert ad1abc8a03fd), I'll remember to revert
with said update.

thanks,
martin

Besides lcdif, the mipi-csi devices have interconnects property too. Are
they already working? If so, it makes more sense to revert ad1abc8a03fd
instead.

imx8mq-mipi-csi.c request the bandwidth, yes. we use that and the
preliminary mxsfb request above so that works.

do you want me to send the revert?
